Willy Maley, Paul Cuddihy, Martin McCardie – The Lions of Lisbon: The Story of ’67, Aye Write 12th Mar 2017
12th Mar 2017 • 6:30PM – 7:30PM • Mitchell Library
Join Paul Cuddihy, Martin McCardie, and Professor Willy Maley as they celebrate the Celts who kept their cool and lifted the cup in the heat of Lisbon.
The golden anniversary of Celtic’s European Cup triumph is a chance to reflect on the historic achievement of the immortal Jock Stein and the eleven local lads who became Lions and legends. Their unsurpassed victory has inspired stories and songs across the years, and forged unfading memories passed down through generations. The Lions of Lisbon is a new book that celebrates the drama of Glasgow’s green and white. It brings to life the patter and the passion of ordinary supporters and the sacrifices they made to get to the greatest game of all. Join Paul Cuddihy, editor of The Celtic View, writer and actor Martin McCardie, and Professor Willy Maley, author and critic, as they celebrate the Celts who kept their cool and lifted the cup in the heat of Lisbon.
